1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION
1 / FOR THE USER’S ATTENTION
— Substances contained in soiling such as oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, stain removers,
turpentine or wax must be removed before drying in your machine (by using an adapted warm water
washing programme with additional detergent for example).
— Precautions for using stain-removing products : any preliminary treatment by solvent, stain-remo-
ver, aerosol, such as acetone, alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, térébentine is prohibited because these
products are very inflammable. If your laundry requires this type of treatment, this must be done
before washing. Similarly, we recommend that you do not use these products near to the dryer or,
in general, near any electrical appliance in a poorly ventilated room in order to avoid any risk of an
explosion.
Important :
•Children’s safety
— This appliance must only be used by adults.
Do not let children play with the appliance and
keep pets away from it.
Keep these operating instructions with
your appliance. If you should sell your
machine or give it to someone else, ensure
that the operating instructions are provided.
Please take note of these safety instructions
before installing and using your appliance.
They have been written for your safety and
that of others.
—
Keep young children away from the
appliance when it is operating.
— Keep the packaging materials out of chil-
dren’s reach (e.g.: plastic bags, polystyrene,
etc.) because they can be dangerous for chil-
dren : risk of suffocation.
— If any incidents occur, which you cannot resolve using the troubleshooting advice we provide (see
“TROUBLESHOOTING”), contact our Technical Service Center.
— This appliance is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physi-
cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they are
supervised or instructed concerning use of
the appliance by the person responsible for
their safety.
— Before disposing of your worn-out appliance, make it unusable. Unplug and cut off the power
cable flush with the appliance and make the door lock inoperable.
— For your safety’s sake, if you wish to change your appliance’s power cable, contact a qualified
electrician.
•SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Installation
— When you receive the appliance, unpack it or
have it unpacked immediately. Check that it
has not suffered any damage during trans-
port. Express any reservations in writing on
the delivery slip and keep a copy.
—
If any operating anomalies occur, disconnect your appliance and call our Technical Service
Center.
Never connect a damaged appliance.
If your appliance is damaged, please contact
your dealer.
— Before connecting your appliance, please
refer to the installation instructions.
— Your tumble dryer must be kept disconnec-
ted from the mains supply throughout the
whole installation process.
— The electrical connection details shown on
your appliance’s information plate must match
those of the local mains supply.
— Once your appliance has been installed, the
electrical plug must remain accessible.
— Do not alter or try to alter the appliance’s
characteristics. This could be dangerous.
— If your installation requires alteration, only
entrust the electrical and plumbing work to
qualified electricians and plumbers.
— The appliance must not be installed behind a
locking door, a sliding door or a door with hin-
ges on the opposite side to those on the dryer.
— Your appliance is designed for normal
domestic use. Do not use it for commercial or
industrial purposes or for any purpose other
than the one for which it has been designed
•Use
Important :
Your tumble dryer is designed for
domestic use only, for drying textiles suitable
for tumble drying.
•ENERGY SAVINGS
— Spin your textiles at high speeds ; the residual dampness will be low, as will your energy
consumption. Even synthetic textiles must be spun before drying.
— Place the maximum load in your machine ; this will optimize the energy used. When doing so,
comply with the indications on volume provided in this instruction manual.
— The drying time and the energy consumption are both increased by a high ambient temperature
and too small a room.
Important :
You must observe the following instruc-
tions. We decline any responsibility and res-
cind the guarantee if these recommendations
are ignored : failure to observe them can
result in material damage and physical injury.
— Clean the filter after each drying cycle.
— Clean the condenser twice a month.
— Use your appliance in accordance with its
method of use, thereby avoiding injury to your-
self and damage to your items. Do not use sol-
vents in the appliance (risk of fire and explo-
sion).
— Strictly comply with the care instructions on
your laundry.
— If you have to open the door of the drum
during the drying cycle, ensure that you do not
touch the drum immediately, as it is very hot.

• CLEANING THE CONDENSER
• DIRECT EVACUATION OF WATER CONDENSER
To avoid having to empty the collection tank every
time you use the appliance, you have a kit (*) for
removing the water from the condenser directly into
the drain (hose and deflector). To fit this :
— Take off the existing pipe and push it inside the
appliance (Fig. 13).
— Clip the deflector with the top of the pump (Fig. 14).
— Connect the hose from the kit to the end connector
on the appliance (Fig. 15)
Important :
The condenser must be cleaned twice a
month.
Important :
Unplug the power cable from the socket
before cleaning the condenser.
Fig. 18
Fig. 19
Fig. 20
— Open the grill at the front of the appliance.
— Release the condenser (Fig.18).
— Remove it carefully (Fig.19).
Fig. 13
— Remove any fluff from the condenser.
— Clean it with water only under the tap (Fig.20).
— After cleaning, ensure that none of the tubes are
“blocked” and that the fins are clean.
— Rub it superficially.
You can connect the other end of the hose either :
- To a ventilated trap (Fig. 16).
- Or a sink trap (Fig. 17).
When connecting to a trap, you must remove the fil-
ler plug. Then press home the rubber tip. If neces-
sary, add a clamp connection (Fig. 17).
— Re-insert the condenser and lock it in place. Close
the grill.
Fig. 14
Important :
The deflector must be positioned before the
drain hose connection to avoid any water splashes
when taking off the hose.
Important :
When refitting the condenser, ensure that it is pushed in firmly right to the back of its hou-
sing when locking it in
Fig. 15

7 / TROUBLESHOOTING
8 / AFTER-SALES SERVICE
Advice :
•
INTERVENTIONS
Some incidents may arise when you are using your dryer. Here are the points you should
check.
Any work on your appliance must be perfor-
med by a brand approved qualified professio-
nal. When you call, mention your appliance’s
full reference (model, type, serial number).
These details are shown on the manufacturer’s
information plate (Fig. 22).
ORIGINAL PARTS
During any maintenance work, ask that only
certified original replacement parts be used.
Fault :
Check whether :
- The plug is in the socket
- The On/Off button is pressed in
- The door is properly closed
The dryer does not start :
- The condenser is correctly locked in place.
- The filter in the drum is clogged with fluff
- The laundry has been spun enough beforehand
(500rpm minimum, but spinning at 850rpm provides
better drying times)
The drying times are too long :
- The condenser is not clogged.
- The air inlets and outlets are unobstructed enough to
ensure correct air circulation.
- The drying program selected matches the type of
items in the drum.
- The filter in the drum is clogged with fluff
- The type of drying has been selected correctly (too
low) : switch to the next programme up or increase
the drying time.
The laundry is too damp :
- The condenser is not blocked by fluff.
Fig. 22
- The drying time selected is too long : the drying time
is better to be too short than too long: this avoids the
laundry becoming too dry and difficult to iron.
The laundry is too dry, too creased :
The items are unevenly dried :
• CHANGING THE BULB
- The types of textiles in the load are too different (e.g.
sheets together with jeans)
- The laundry has been laid correctly ‘unfolded’ in the
dryer
You can replace the light bulb (type E14-
15W/230V) yourself (Fig. 23).
- The drum is not overloaded.
Important :
Unplug the power cord before chan-
ging the bulb.
- The laundry has been dried too much
- You have used softener during washing. By using this
product, you can reduce most of the problems with
static electricity.
The synthetic items are loaded with
static electricity :
To do this :
— Unscrew the glass cover located to the left
inside the appliance.
— Unscrew the extinguished bulb and replace it.
— Screw on the glass cover tightly.
The “Tank Full” indicator light is lit :
- The condensate container is full : once you have emp-
tied it, re-insert it correctly, pushing it completely into
its housing

tes although the tank is empty :
ted: push it in completely.
Important :
- Check if the condenser is tightly locked on the two
sides.
The bulb must be replaced when the
appliance is cooled down.
